A new technique that reveals faint structures among the galaxies of the
Virgo Cluster confirms the predicted existence of intergalactic
plasma circuits.

This image of faint luminosity among the galaxies of
the Virgo Cluster was recently published with this caption:

“Case Western Reserve University astronomers have
captured the deepest wide-field image ever of the nearby Virgo
cluster of galaxies, directly revealing for the first time a vast,
complex web of ‘intracluster starlight’—nearly 1,000 times fainter
than the dark night sky—filling the space between the galaxies
within the cluster. The streamers, plumes and cocoons that make up
this extremely faint starlight are made of stars ripped out of
galaxies as they collide with one another inside the cluster, and
act as a sort of ‘archaeological record’ of the violent lives of
cluster galaxies.”

In an Electric Universe, these luminous plasma
features are not “ripped out of galaxies as they collide” but are
assembled from the sparse particles that make up the intergalactic
plasma. The
electromagnetic forcesof a Birkeland current diminish directly
with distance from the current (rather than with the square of the
distance from a body as gravity does). Therefore, these forces have
a much stronger and longer-reaching effect: They act as “cosmic
vacuum cleaners”, pulling in and concentrating matter from great
distances.

This “pinch effect” organizes the plasma into
filaments that act as “power cables”.
Because these cables attract each other when far apart but repel
each other when close, they tend to spiral around each other. At
points of sufficiently strong interaction, the matter in the cables
will be stretched into arcs, and a “sump” or bulge will accumulate
between them. This generates the familiar form of a
spiral galaxy.
Hence, galaxies are “loads” on the intergalactic circuits, similar
to streetlights on a municipal power grid.

Variations in
such factors as density, temperature, or composition along the
cables trigger the formation of
double layers and
sheaths. These formations separate the plasma into bubbles or cells
that tend to have the same properties. The cells organize further,
in a fractal-like manner, with smaller filaments and cells inside
them. In nearby galaxies, we see this subdivision as nebulas and
stars. The intergalactic currents should also appear “knotted” into
bright spots and clusters of stars.
